If anyone is looking for the perfect gift or stocking stuffer, my plant-based cooking class vouchers are a perfect solution!

These have become increasingly popular as more and more people want the experience of cooking and mastering foods they love while learning the art and science of plant-based cuisine.

They are perfect for couples and families, but just as great for individuals wanting to level up their skills in the kitchen.

Of course, my classes go beyond just teaching recipes and culinary skills. I also consult and coach clients on diet, health concerns/issues, creating an arsenal of tips, tools, and hacks to make cooking for self or loved ones or just simply staying on track with health goals a BREEZE!

Here’s a testimonial from a previous client:

“Andrea is amazing!!! She makes cooking seem EASY and manageable while also creating recipes that taste amazing and make you feel good after you eat them. She is incredibly knowledgeable about food, holistic approaches to the body, and even pet nutrition. I loved learning so much about making the food, but also just about food in general and how the food we eat affects our entire body. I highly recommend her for a cooking class or consultation. She is supportive, non-judgemental, and incredibly helpful. 10/10 recommend!”

No matter your stance on diet, I think there’s one universal truth we can’t deny; eating a diet rich in whole, fresh, local, unprocessed, hydrating foods that veer towards alkalinity has PROFOUND effects on human health.

We weren’t created to eat human made “ingredients”, toxic chemicals, and fake foods.

Our bodies require 4 main elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen.

All of which should come directly through our breath, water, and food.

The food today, especially in the U.S., is very different from the food we had 100+ yrs ago.

We live very differently today than we did back then too.

Our current ways of living, eating, and just sheer existing are vastly new to our specie.

Reconnecting to our natural environment, diet, and lifestyle brings harmony and homeostasis within and, ultimately, for the rest of the planet 🌍

Amongst all of the fun festivities, let’s remember to create a zero-waste, eco-friendly Halloween! 🌱🎃

So many pumpkins and their goodness go to waste this time of year.

Help create a sustainable, eco-friendly Halloween celebration!

Pick locally and support your organic farmers. They grow the best pumpkins - not just for carving but for cooking too!

Reuse and recycle: save those pumpkin seeds and flesh for cooking up some delicious meals and adding a nutritional punch to your weekly meal rotations!

🍽 Pumpkin yummies: pumpkin puréed soup, latte mixers, baked goods, roasted or sprouted seeds.

🎃 Zero-waste carving: plan your design, use durable tools, and complete your scraps

♻️ Zero-waste disposal: compost or repurpose after Halloween 👻

👩🏻‍🏫 Teach and inspire: get the family and community involved and share your ideas 💡

Let’s have a fun and sustainable Halloween! Share your ideas and inspirations below ⬇️

If the food on your plate isn’t making you feel great…

You may want to rethink what you’re putting on your plate.

Not all foods are created equal. One type of bread is a completely different “breed” than another.

Our fruits should be cooked, but kept in their raw natural form and seeded.

While some veggies are easier to digest cooked (think: potatoes), others are best eaten raw.

Not all food combinations digest well either.

It takes stripping back what we’ve been conditioned to belief about food, nutrition and these food fads, and completely turning them on their heads.

That’s our bread and butter at The Alkalign Lifestyle Cafe.

It’s what we live, breathe, and teach.

Because everyone deserves to eat aligned with their natural diet.

Book us to cater your next event, teach 1:1 or group cooking classes, or treat yourself to weekly in-home chef prepared meals to keep your health aligned so you can live and perform and your best.

DM for bookings and inquiries!

Food is my love language.

It’s the medium through I am able to express the abundance of beauty, flavors, nourishment, playfulness, fun that stems from Mama Gaia.

It’s the spiritual need that brings people together on something we can all relate to, converse over, and connect.

Creating a meal is a work of both are and science. No stone is ever left unturned when cultivating a menu for those I serve.

And yet, no meal is ever pretentious. Within its own beauty and bursts of flavors and textures, everyone who tastes the simplicity and complexity in their dish feels right at home.

As though they were born to eat this way 😉
